According to
the text on line 6 of the first page, there are two conditions to be met (age
and income) in order to claim a tax credit for age. The form-filler
approaches this task with some given information about his or her
income and age. The task is then to answer a question such as: If I am 66
years old and my net earnings are less than $20,000 a year, can I claim an age
amount? There are two conditions to meet, so the form-filler will have to
cycle to pick up the phrases 65 or over and under $25,921. He or
she can then compare, or integrate, given information about age and income with
the conditions in the text. Because this is an isolated bit of text intended to
help the respondent navigate the form, we will rate the type of
match on the document processing rubric. The essential task is an
integration (3); which compares (+0); two features (+1); one item response
(+0); given is a literal match (+0); no new frame for requested (+0); total
rating of 4. The type of information requested is an action, rated at 2. Gross
income is a distractor for the given net income
information. |
